2019 Annual Incentive Plan Purpose It is the intent of Laureate Education, Inc. (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, the “Company”) to reward for results. The Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides an incentive to participants to maximize results in areas critical to the Company’s success during the current year, and also rewards participants for their individual performance. Incentive Targets The following table contains your targeted bonus amount and your maximum bonus amount (each expressed as a percentage of your base salary). You can earn up to the maximum amount if maximum results are attained by both the Company and you. Bonus Target Maximum Bonus 30% of base salary 60% of base salary $52,500 $105,000 Summary The level of your bonus payment will be based on the results of two components: Business Results Component for [Corporate Employees]: 50% The Business Results component of your bonus payout is comprised of the following factors: 1. Meeting or exceeding Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) threshold amount (30% of the Business Results component); 2. Meeting or exceeding Unlevered Free Cash Flow (Operating Cash Flow – Capex + Interest) threshold amount (30% of the Business Results component); 3. Meeting or exceeding the Revenue threshold amount (20% of the Business Results component); 4. Meeting or exceeding the New Enrollment threshold amount (20% of the Business Results component); and Individual Results Component: 50% 5. Your performance level on your Personal Objectives (100% of the Individual Results component) Adjusted EBITDA Threshold • If the Adjusted EBITDA is less than 90%, no incentive payments will be made to any participant, including you. Internal Controls • It is critical to maintain Company’s position of having no material weaknesses. If you are responsible for any Internal Control(s), your payment under this plan may be reduced if you have a deficiency or material weakness at the end of 2019 as determined by the Laureate Internal Controls organization. Metric Targets Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow, Revenue and New Enrollment are based on total Laureate Education, Inc. ("Laureate") targets. Confidential 3

 

2019 Annual Incentive Plan Discretion of the Company Notwithstanding anything contrary in this summary, any bonus that you are eligible to receive under the Plan will be subject to the discretion, including the negative discretion, of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Laureate. Base Salary Bonus calculations under the Plan will be based on a participant’s base salary as of November 1, 2019 if they have been in the same job for the entire year. Please see the sections below titled “New Hire”, “Internal Transfer/Promotion” and “Termination” if you experience any of those changes during the year. Performance Periods The effective performance period for this Plan runs from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (the “Performance Period”). How Results Are Measured Key Performance Results Weights As previously noted, if the Adjusted EBITDA threshold of 90% ($570,386,351) is not met or exceeded, no payments will be made to any participant. The total bonus payment will be based on Business and Individual components. The following table defines the component factors and assigns the weighting of each: Component Component Factor Factor Definitions Factors Weighting Weighting Laureate’s Adjusted EBITDA results for 2019 versus a target Adjusted EBITDA 30% based on the budgeted 2019 Adjusted EBITDA.

2019 Annual Incentive Plan Adjusted EBITDA Factor Table Adjusted EBITDA will account for 30% of the Business Results component of your targeted bonus payment potential.

Objectives will be set by each participant and their manager at the start of the year. At the end of the year, 50% of your targeted bonus will be based on the results attained for those objectives. Results for each objective will be rated by your manager, and a final overall percentage between 0% and 200% should be applied by the manager to this portion of the bonus.

2019 Annual Incentive Plan Timing of Bonus Payments Bonuses, if paid at all, are paid once a year as soon as administratively practicable after the Company’s certification of achievement against the metrics outlined above. Furthermore, the timing of bonus payments is contingent on the publication of Laureate’s 2019 audited financials. New Hire Bonuses for Plan participants hired on or after March 1st of the Performance Period will be prorated depending on the date of hire. Those hired prior to March 1st will not have their bonus prorated. For example, someone hired on July 1st would receive a prorated bonus of 184/365ths of their projected bonus. Employees hired after November 1st of any year are ineligible for a bonus payment for that year. Please consult your local HR partners for the new hire date that applies to your country/region. Internal Transfer/Promotion Employees transferring from one bonus-eligible position within the Company to another will have their bonus compensation pro-rated based on their time in each position if the change in position means a change in salary grade and therefore eligibility. An employee who transfers from a bonus-eligible position to other positions within the Company not covered by this Plan will be paid bonus compensation based on the job they are leaving and only for the pro-rated period the employee actually worked in the bonus-eligible position. Termination Employees who leave the Company either voluntarily or involuntarily are not eligible for bonus payments under this Plan. To be eligible for a bonus payment, the participant must be actively employed by the Company on the exact date that the bonuses are paid. Confidential 7
